How to be sure that a band has been printed

rbuser

I use the band AfterPrint or AfterGenerate events to set some variables.
However the events fire even if the band cannot be printed in the current
page. For example there is not enough space for the summary band to be
printed so a new page is generated. The AfterPrint/AfterGenerate events
however fire twice causing me problems.
So the general question is : Is it possible to know (which event) that a
band has actually been printed?
Thanks

Yannis,

Do not set variables in the AfterPrint or AfterGenerate events. These
events fire frequently in order to ensure correct pagination through the
report. Make sure you use the TppVariable.OnCalc event to set variables.

Thank you Nico,
I just want to find out that a band has been actually printed after the
AfterGenerate. The main reason not to be printed is that there is not enough
space available. So I use band.OutOfSpace property in the AfterGenarate
even.
Do you think this is correct?
Thanks again

Yannis,

Since you are not performing any calculations in a one to one relationship
with the records, this is the correct approach to take. Using the
Band.OutOfSpace property in the AfterGenerate event should give you the
correct information.
